Ask HN: Does anyone have an old Goodreads API key?

20 pointsbwb4 comments

They shut down their API program years ago, but I was hoping to find someone who had an old key I could use.

I run BookDNA.com and it would be helpful for us. Anyone know anybody who still has a legacy key?

So your product is a referral to Amazon, and they won't even give you api access to build their referral funnel? That doesn't sound like much of a business partner.

You get access to Amazon's product API only after showing a certain level of success as an affiliate.

oh gosh no, love books, building it for free. We are direct funded with premium accounts by authors and readers.

You might be out of luck: I believe they expire unused after a fairly short time.
